Hello!
I'm a new bird owner and I'm looking for some friends who can help guide me through this uncharted territory I'm in.
I'm Ember, and I have a (as of posting) 7 month old green cheek conure. Her name is Beakley (gender unconfirmed) and she has already stolen my heart and pooped all over it. I love her so much!
Currently, we live in a house with three adults and no children. We have two dogs, Garrus and Triss, who are very patient with their new goblin sibling. She has a decent sized cage full of toys in her own room. She has LED lights we use daily for about an hour or so and gets regular baths. She is constantly supervised when she is out of her cage (which is daily anywhere between 3-5ish hours). She always has access to fresh water, Rowdybush pellets, and daily chop. She is a spoiled little brat who would happily murder me for a grape 🥲
She recently got a clean bill of health from the local exotic vet so I hope I'm doing things right 😅 I still second guess myself every day and, yes, I do have those moments where I wonder if a bird was the right thing to get. But I know now that I love having her and am even planning to get a second one (maybe an Indian ringneck or an African gray) but that's not going to be for awhile. I want to bond with just Beakley for now. I'm excited to see how she grows over the years!
Anyways, I'll wrap this up. Please feel free to ask me questions or give me any advice (god knows I need it).
